Welcome to Patricia Youngquist, The Last Leaf Gardener's blog. I'm a photo-artist, bird-lover and urban gardener living in NYC. I'm also an author with a published book series, "Words In Our Beak." The stories are told by Cam, the bird pictured above. For info click on images 1-3 in the sidebar (L). My website (Patriciayoungquist.com.) mainly features my non-nature themed images (Black and White as well as Kaleidoscopic). Click on the 4th image in sidebar (L) to visit.

Here's to Chris Deatherage!

At that time, Deitch had been hired by a Sagittarius Pictures to produce a feature-length animated movie to be based on White's book, Charlotte’s Web.

It was very important to E.B. White (as you can see in this letter), that in any animated feature based on his book, Charolette's (a spider) voice should remain true to her very being. And so should the other voices in the story, including Wilbur (a pig) and Templeton (a rat).

I am very blessed that my book formatter, Chris Deatherage, (who also serves as an editor) truly understands voice and spirit, and he definitely removes his hat when he enters my rooftop garden where Cam spends much of her time and where her story is set.

Cam and I are awestruck upon having seen the fantastic work that Chris has done with formatting and editing volume two of our book series. Stay tuned!

ADDENDUM (March 26, 2018): Words In Our Beak Volume Two (pictured below) is now available wherever books are sold.

The ISBN is 9780996378536. Btw, any brick and mortar store sells books is able to order copies of Words In Our Beak Volume Two — if they don't have it in stock. Moreover, it's also available on line, including via Barnes &Noble as well as Amazon.
